Aug 25, 2014 (A Wilson) - The zone consists of irregular quartz veins varying in width from 1 to 13.4 feet hosted within a reddish altered, sheared trondjhemite-tonalite. The zone doesn't appear to be a single quartz vein, but is more likely to be a swarm of intermittent quartz lenses. The zone has an inconsistent width.
